Your quote is referring to cross-posting from other sites to Twitter, not linking.
(I’d also recommend Security Cryptography Whatever and Signals & Threads, but they’ve already been mentioned)
* Built in functionality for telling when the cron last ran, and whether it was successful or not (so you can do alerting)
* Ability to specify human-readable schedules
* Built-in feature for randomising cron start time to avoid stampeding
I can’t edit my comment now, but hopefully your correction here gets upvoted and is visible to people.
Not to mention stuff like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates/+b..., where Ubuntu just unilaterally reverted Mozilla’s removal of a cert in their package, because it was breaking nuget… Note that this was early 2021 — Mozilla removed Symantec from their trust store in October 2018!
In general it just seems like a bit of a mess.

Let alone the fact that’s it’s running in a simulated virtual machine, and the other examples presented in this article, which add layers and layers of complexity on top of that.
Also, it does not matter that the code takes 30 seconds to execute — I’m not claiming that the model is executing the code. I’m suggesting that the model could be understanding what the code is meant to do, and producing the output from that understanding. The code’s inefficiency is irrelevant in that process.
The progress in this area is insane. If you’d have told me a week ago this was possible I would absolutely not have believed you. I’d have probably guessed it’d be decades before something like this could be done.
These attacks are sophisticated and are capable of bypassing TOTP or mobile-app-based MFA. If this is widespread, I’d be surprised if we didn’t see a massive influx of breaches soon. The vast majority of companies are not well defended against this.
There are 13 root nameserver IPs, but there are actually about 1500 root nameservers. Anycast addressing is used so that multiple root nameservers can use the same IP (requests to a root nameserver IP will be routed to the “nearest” nameserver using that IP).
Maybe this works if you run your Perl in the exact same environment the whole time, or if you're writing stuff on a very small scale and don't need to use many CPAN modules.
But for large applications, you'll be using CPAN modules heavily. And you'll need to run your Perl in new environments - if for no other reason, because you'll need to move to new operating system versions to pick up security updates.
That's where the problems start. If you're using a reasonable number of CPAN modules, this inevitably breaks some of them. And because the Perl ecosystem is essentially dead, those third-party modules are usually abandoned.
The above is my attempt to create a minimal Neovim configuration that uses treesitter and nvim-lsp (albeit only for Go).
It uses Nix, so if you have Nix installed you can immediately try the configuration out in a self-contained development shell.
It’s too minimal for everyday use, but could be of inspiration.
